Correlation isn't causation and an early rise of player count does nothing about mid- to late season queues. Nothing is at stake, therefore high-end PvPers also have no reason to seriously hone their craft either.

An initial rush of players happened every single season even before Crystalline Conflict - it is retaining a healthy player count beyond this that both Feast and CC ranked fail to do, for almost completely separate reasons.

The Series Pass just happens to exist and has no actual bearing on Ranked.
